Sopcast is, like all programs, also fully free. It's one of the older programs, and it has been developed very well with alot of interesting feautures and options. It's so far the best program, which has improved a lot with less breaks during busy moments. It's fully English, and many other languages are available aswell.

Instructions
Install 3.5.0 by scrolling all the way down, at the bottom of the page!
* How to install?
Scroll down to the bottom of this page, and download the ZIP File. Unzip it, and run the Sopcast.exe file. It will ask you to install, so just do so. It's smart to close your browser (IE or Firefox) before installing.
* How to watch?
There are 3 ways to watch:
- Start a channel from our schedule pages, you click a link and then it starts Sopcast + the channel.
- Start sopcast manually and select a channel. You can login as anonymous, or register a free account on Sopcast.com . By clicking any channel from the list it will open a new frame with the channel loading.
- Copy past a channel into Sopcast. Start sopcast first, then copy the sop:// url from the schedules, past it into the sopcast adress bar and press enter or the arrow.
